Basting a brisket or chuck roll?

Recommended Posts

Barbecue... If you're looking, you ain't cooking...

It's been argued that basting does nothing to keep que moist and I tend to agree. The moisture comes from collagen breakdown. No way that mopping/basting is going to help this.

The heat loss you incur when the cooker is opened to baste does more harm than any good that basting might do.
